Home abortion

We are a group of doctors who provide online abortion care and prescribe the abortion pill. This can up to 9 weeks pregnancy.
Ordering the abortion pill online and using it at home is legal and safe.

What do we offer?

• We give online information and if necessary you can ask us additional questions.
• Through our website, you then fill in a application form we will assess it within 48 hours (not including weekends). We may contact you first if we have any questions.
• We will then send the prescription to your pharmacy, and you will always receive a message from us plus additional information.
• After you collect the medication, you can take it at home.

Scientific research among more than 130,000 women shows that online help for pregnancy termination is as effective and safe as via a visit to a doctor. The US gynaecology association has found that the abortion pill is as safe as a regular painkiller and less lethal than an erectile pill.
The WHO recommends that the abortion pill be made available to women up to 12 weeks in the most accessible way possible and possibly without the intervention of a doctor. In the Netherlands, this has been reduced to 9 weeks.

Do you need a consultation or personal support with your unwanted pregnancy? Then our online service is less suitable. In that case, visit your GP, Fiom, or an abortion clinic.
Even if your GP does not prescribe the abortion pill, counselling in the event of an unwanted pregnancy falls under regular GP care, e.g. a consultation if you have doubts or want information about the pros and cons of methods to terminate the pregnancy. Even if you have (rare) complications if you take the abortion pill through us, you can visit your GP, including in the evenings and at weekends.

Want to go to a abortion clinic then you don't need a referral for that. If you are more than 9 weeks pregnant, go to an abortion clinic anyway. Your pregnancy must then be stopped by suction. You can also choose to stop a pregnancy before 9 weeks by suction.

Costs?

The care we provide (information, consultation and prescription) is none costs are incurred if you live or work in the Netherlands and have Dutch health insurance. The costs are paid by the government and are not borne by your health insurance. You also pay not to the pharmacy or the sonographer.

If you do not have Dutch health insurance, we advise you to first check if you might be covered by European health insurance, as abortion care for international students can sometimes be reimbursed at regular clinics. For example, you could contact the Epione clinic in Amsterdam to explore this possibility. If that is not possible, there are also organisations that can support you. You can contact Abortion Network Amsterdam or, if you live in Amsterdam yourself, Dokters van de Wereld (Médecins du Monde); they can often help you further.
